September 10th, 2007 at 3:34 pmI think I will be sipping wine and shedding few tears on September 25, 2007. Actually I KNOW I will be sipping wine and shedding a few tears, but I am cool with that. The last album that moved me like that was Flo’Ology.

September 10th, 2007 at 10:07 pmJill is “AWESOMELY HUMAN”. God has kissed this woman with a gift that is far beyond platinum albums, sold out concerts, oscar winning movies, and VIP entries. Through her we learn to embrace our faults, successes, mistakes, and joys. She removes the veneer and allow us to share her journey and I am so grateful for that.
Thanx Jill

September 11th, 2007 at 2:21 pmJill Scott, you are one of my favorite artists of all time. I am glad you have a new record coming out and I can’t wait until you come back to Memphis. I hate to hear that your marriage didn’t work out, but maybe you will have that love one day. I know that I hoping one day that special man will come my way. Love ya and as Memphis Mayor’s Campaign Solgan says, “Shake the haters off.”

September 11th, 2007 at 7:50 pmJill S. you are the topic of conversation with my friends and the most agreed upon fact is that your words touch like not another artists. Your lyrics say things that would otherwise be indescribeable. You are truly gifted and talented and blessed. You inspire me everytime I have the pleasure of coming across your works or whenever I hear your music. You are truly rare and one of the few who knows what love truly means. Merci beaucoup!

September 13th, 2007 at 6:34 pmYou are a beautiful person. Not many artist have the passion that you express…That is why the haters hate so bad… But I’m here to say, if Jill Scott were not on the scene we would truly be missing a legend. So I thank GOD for your gift ,keep doing your music with the passion that you have because you certainly reach those of us ,who are ready for the genuine art of music. With sincere love for you…
Peace and Blessings,

Ilicia Says:
September 14th, 2007 at 11:30 amwow… before now, all I had heard of Jill’s voice was singing. This is my first time ever seeing her talk and hearing what she really feels. I thought she was extremely beautiful and her voice is like thunder and honey. Now that I’ve listened to her talk… I feel like I know her and I love her personality (Beautiful Jill) all the way. I admire her for doing what she needed to do and not being afraid of success and God’s blessings and understanding that all things and sometimes people are here for a season in our lives to teach us things. Keep your head up, Jill. Love ya!

I love that you 1) make the space to feel and reflect on your life and your experiences for yourself 2) that you share your thought process 3) that you present it in a beautiful way that your brothers and sistas can relate to.
We all have the same struggle, it is just a different story. I like your story. It moves me.
Thank you for your AWARENESS. I do hope that parents will be selective in what they allow their babies to listen to. I am a parent and it hurts me that our young ones ears are not shielded more often.
Jilly – You are beautifully human! I am happy that you do not allow anyone to get in the way of what YOU are feeling.
Peace.

Deon Says:
September 14th, 2007 at 3:05 pmAs I sit here listening to Jill Scotts Collaborations, and watching the interview, seeing the pain through the passion, through that the persistance, indurance…… Ms Scott has always been and will always be an inspirational influance to me in my life as a singer, a poet, a voluptuous beautiful black woman. When I see these clips, I see and hear myself, past, present even future in her, it brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. When I grow up, I wanna be just like her. Jill the God in you I see is a blessing to me. Be blessed and know that you will be added to my prayers and you truly loved as an artis and a person most of all.

I think you are an inspiration to anyone who will lend their ear to “listen” to your creative expression put to music, whether their woman, man, child, black, white, doctor, teacher, store clerk whomever.
I consider it a blessing to be living in this time to experience your music and many others like yourself. I love your honesty because it encourages me to be honest. Love you for that. Thank you for sharing your music with the world as you journey through life. May God continue to give you peace, joy, healing, happiness, and love.

Tameshia Says:
September 14th, 2007 at 6:02 pmAs an artist and as a “Real Black Woman”, I truly love you from one sister to another. You are an absolute blessing to us all as a sisterhood of strong black women! The pictures that you paint and the stories that you tell through beautiful songs are absolutely liberating. I also see your music as sources of confirmation for my mind and spirit because of the realiness that you ALWAYS have had to offer. After seeing your interview, I received yet another confirmation that it’s ok to be who I am as a young black woman and expect only the best from anyone that I should allow into my inner circle. I pray that God’s abdundant blessings continue to flow in your life and please know that your “haters” are in a sense your biggest fans…..you’re constantly on their minds. Peace, Love, and Blessings

Rhonda Says:
September 14th, 2007 at 6:22 pmI can’t believe that anyone would not like what you represent! Your music, your words are so on point. What’s to not like. You sing of self love, unity, life and all that it entails. I love hate on me because that’s all these crazy, mis-guided people are…haters. As you said, no weapon formed against you shall prosper because you girl are more than a conqueor! believe that. To me you are a beautiful, strong, honest ( and yes I don’t know you personally) warm spirited woman….black woman who radiats what a black woman should strive to be. pure joy..it’s in your smile. thanks for making beautiful music, keep smiling and singing and most of all keep that beautiful mane of hair natural for all of us sista’s who need to see natural beauty.

Tony Brown Says:
September 14th, 2007 at 6:34 pmWow, i have always been inspired and amazed by Jill Scott’s music..her music is like my theropy. the words that she sings to her song speak to my soul in a way that most people will never understand. i definitely felt her when she said, “i dont write on demand”. and i noticed that pattern with her even before she made that statement. But boy when she does drop an album that shit is always off the CHAIN. she wasnt lyin when she said; “if i feel like cooking, you’re gonna have a meal, and you’re gonna be lickin your wrist!”. i lick my wrist and elbows everytime i hear her albums. hope she continues to prosper and cook those damn good meals. I LOVE YOU JILL, hope to get the chance to grace yur presence one day!

THE REAL THING Says:
September 14th, 2007 at 7:33 pmWow, I ALWAYS knew it was something about her from the moment I saw her in her video “Gettin In The Way” and heard her on the radio! Once I purchased the first cd it was a wrap I was a big fan from that point on and will continue to be. I can not wait to see her and Tyler Perry together, two beautiful souls. We’re beautiful- she makes me proud to be a black man. I just wish you the best in everything you do!
Overwhelming love-

September 14th, 2007 at 8:19 pmNow that was an interview…to the point. Jill.. I feel you on the advancement tip. I am married and am pursuing my Doctorate, its been tough. But like you said…I’m not willing to change. So, it is what it is. We must explore all of our possibilities as human beings because we only have 1 shot in this life. Your words and music always express that which is unsaid in our minds. You are always on point… sista friend . Can’t wait for the new joint to drop and the tour right…

ERICA Morrison Says:
September 14th, 2007 at 11:18 pmI wasn’t able to see all of Jill Scott’s interview, and I don’t know what’s wrong with You Tube’s site. From what i was able to view, Jill Scott just warms my heart. The way that she presents herself is that of what i believe her to be (a beautiful human). When i hear her speak it just gives me chills. I feel that she’s very deep and she definitely inspires me. Even the song “Hate On Me” helped me to look within myself and be ok with me, to not worry about pleasing people or peoples that don’t give a damn about me anyway,(people that are hating on you)- if you will.I makes me feel so good that we are both from Philly too. I love, love, love and love Jill Scott. From one beautiful human to the next, Thank you Jill Scott.

Chandra Says:
September 14th, 2007 at 11:32 pmJill Sweetie – I am so proud of you – and a few other “young people” (I’m 50) that have come to your level of understanding at such an early age. Yes – I said EARLY AGE – ’cause to me, you are still young. It took me a hellova lot longer to get to the level of self-acceptance I have now.
Like you – I’ve come to accept that “haters” will always exist. Fortunately, I’ve FINALLY learned the only person I control – is ME.
I wasn’t aware that you are no longer with your husband. I’m really sorry that you had to go through that pain, but at the same time, the entire experience – from its inception to its end – is what you both needed to reach an even deeper self-awareness. And – look at the creativity that has come out of it! Look at how many people you are touching – even HEALING with your stories!
There are no “accidents” in the Universe. Adversity is making you stronger; I don’t need to tell you that. I’m certain you know.
Like you, I’ve had people “hate” on me – for no apparent reason. But to be more accurate – people vibrating on a lower frequency are typically taken aback by the Light that people like you exude. You reflect their potential, because everyone has the capacity to be the best they can be. Lots of folk are unable to overcome the “damage” they have suffered, and morph into this ugly, cynical existence; Light like yours reminds them of fact that they have forsaken their potential. They feel their only “defense” is to “hate”, as an attempt to make themselves feel better. Of course, it doesn’t work – so instead of turning the attention towards the true “culprit” of their misery, they get a yet another temporary “fix” by hatin’ on you, and others that are resonating brilliantly.
I don’t have to tell you NOTHIN’ though, Baby! You’re doin’ it! Keep makin’ all of us who love you PROUD by continuing to DO YOU! Those of us who love your energy can’t get enough of it! I’ll be going to get your new release soon.
Stay Strong, Sweetie!

Atheldra Dixon Says:
September 14th, 2007 at 11:45 pmYou are truly a beautiful human being inside and out. There will always be haters and over the years I’ve learned that nobody will hurt you more than your family. But you have the perserverence to over come it’s in your music your conversation and the lovely smile on your face. Continue to love life, love God and love you as I and so many of your fans do. Be blessed and keep coming with the hits.

Anne Says:
September 15th, 2007 at 2:37 amDearest Jill,
You have been a celebrant for joys, a therapist for sorrows. You have been there through breakups, hardships, self doubt, and pain. You give inspiration to go forward in life with your words of wisdom, insight, and gentle encouragement.
You maintain your integrity whilst bringing the world beautiful music you believe in. With soulful albums, your soothing voice blesses us with clarity, elegance, grace, and intelligence.
As young women today continually consume the falseness they are spoon-fed, leading them away from what’s important, you keep it real and show us what it is to live our lives like they’re golden.
Thank you for keeping me company through some thick times and many golden moments, as a soundtrack to my life. I cannot wait to continue the journey. Peace and blessings on your life, all the best with the launch of the new album, and may you find happiness in all that you do. Praise God for allowing us to witness his goodness in Miss Jill Scott, because the music you make is truely heaven sent.
Love and Kind Regards, Anne
P.S We love you down here in Australia, when are you gonna come visit? -

And I thank you for what you do because you say everthing that I can’t find the words to say at time. Keep doin what you do. And to the hate haters: We ain’t worried about yall. ‘Cause yall obviously are going through and need to direct attention to someone else to hide yourself. But it’s OK. We gon keep pressin on. And dats The Real Thing.

Pamela Nash Says:
September 15th, 2007 at 8:29 amOH!! MY!!! GOODNESS!! Miss Jill…words cannot express how much I love you and your work. My hair stylist is always on top of new music and what’not and I think for the past 2 years, I’ve asked him every time I have an appointment …..”when is Jill coming out with something new?”. He always answers me with “she’s living right now so she can write…you can’t rush Jill”.
When I heard that your new album is dropping in September, I damn near fell out. I have all of your cd’s. I listen to them as if they just came out yesterday. I love the variety of styles you use. I love your lyrics. Every track is it’s own little masterpiece. Your voice is AMAZING. You are BEAUTIFUL. There are not enough words in my vocabulary to describe how I feel.
I can tell this cd is going to be F I R E just from hearing the little snippets from the interview. Trust me, whoever doesn’t have it, will hear it coming from my truck. I’m spreading Jill Scott all over Southern California.
Take care and take as much time as you need for the next cd…
) Love ya!

Katrice R. Cyphers Says:
September 15th, 2007 at 8:59 amJill,
Thank you being of honest and true to yourself first and then share your experience with us. You are right about the road Hip-Hop has taken, we do need to take responisibilty for our actions and think about the future generations. What do we want to them? Love has helped me to become a better woman than I ever thought I could be and I am blessed, but even if my love disappears tomorrow I will know that I had true love and be content with that. There is nothing wrong with a woman wanting to be loved that way we should be loved but WE have to believe it within ourselves. Jill, you have shown us this through your music and I believe you have sparked a something inside of me. A voice that speaks to all women that can not find the words to express it themselves.
Thank you Jill for being the “REAL” deal.
Katrice -
NI Says:
September 15th, 2007 at 9:23 amI love to listen to you speak. You always say exactly what you feel, duh, but you know how to evoke feeling through your words almost as if you’ve written what you are going to say even in a conversation. Poetic. Even when you are being interviewed. And I can’t wait to see the movie. I’m so proud to know you as an artist. Thank you for every note, lyric, video, energy you’ve shared. Love it!

September 15th, 2007 at 10:30 amJill, Jill, Jill. you continue to amaze, inspire and provoke thought. Your aura abounds and I think after all you have been through thus far you are far stronger than before. This album just blows me away, the first time I heard “Hate on me” it made me smile, because of a situation I was going through, that song simply was on point. Then I heard “My Love” and I was startled at your honesty and passion, just amazing. You are a true artist, taking these life experiences and honestly expressing them through your music. For me you are a story teller at heart. Thank you for being you and bringing all the love and intelligence you bring to this crazy industry.
love ya
PS: if your ever in Atlanta, look me up. This brotha would love to just vibe with you over a cup mint tea or homemade ginger beer ;- )

Amy Says:
September 15th, 2007 at 3:52 pmJill, you are amazing. I can’t remember the first time I heard your music or when I bought “Who Is Jill Scott?” but I have listened to your music almost every day since. You are a beautiful, strong, inspiring woman and I can’t wait until my copy of “The Real Thing” comes! When I heard the demo of “Hate on Me” I had just been trashed on-line by some ladies in a group that I volunteer for. I thought you could have read my mind! Thank you for being who you are and doing what you do.

Veronica Says:
September 15th, 2007 at 7:09 pmI love Jill….what more can I say! She brings so much soul out of her music when she is live….It is deeply brought to the table so you can really understand the word, the meaning, and the pain or the love in her music. Its like sitting on a park bench with a close friend! All I ask is that she put out another live album for the fans that missed the magic this summer in 2007….Like myself…lol
Its a diffrent experience from just listening to the album itself…and i would love you have enjoyed that experience. Love you Jill -

You have figured out what the “big girls” who have come before you know: The pain will propel you forward and humble any ideas or misconceptions of ARRIVAL!” I wish continued and greater success……

Keep your head up, girl, and your beautiful spirit and belief in Him will get you through. Peace.

It takes a lot of courage and heart to put your feelings out there like that, but rest assured you are not alone. Those of us who may be less musically inclined can still relate to the life experiences you share. I love you for being the beautiful, spiritual, strong Black woman you are. Don’t ever change, I will continue to support you and follow your career wtih great interest.

September 16th, 2007 at 5:08 pmDear Jill,
You are too Wonderfully wonderful an injection of oxygen in the lifeless music out there today. Whenever you are in Dallas I am in that space. Watching you on stage is a can’t miss event. I am so glad you have a new album coming out, because a tour is soon to follow. I am excited to see you perform live again. -
Vanessa Says:
September 16th, 2007 at 5:41 pmWOW:)

Jamie Says:
September 16th, 2007 at 5:59 pmI am so excited to see this sister again and what she’s about to do! It’s a rarity to see an artist who can write music, sing the music, and then explain the music with such precision, magic and poetry. She’s refreshing as a woman who believes in and lives what she sings.

September 16th, 2007 at 6:00 pmJill-
You are such a BEAUTIFUL soul! I love love love your music…it touches something deep inside of me and I can feel every emotion you are trying to convey to your listener in every song! I love the truth in you, God’s Favor is truly on you and in the gift He’s given you! Who cares what anyone has to say negative about you, I’ve adopted a saying that has gotten me through a many days of hate…”Hate motivates me to be the best that I can be and pain elevates me to the places that God desires for me to be…”
God bless you, you wonderful sweet lovely special fearfully and wonderfully made woman of God!

I truely agree with you about the negative words that are said in our music now days. I agree with everything you have said. Don’t get me wrong I want to support our african american people however, I feel they do need to change the way they express themselves.

Whenever we are graced with music, poetry, movies, etc. we are truly blessed by God to see her in any form that she chooses to express herself. No hate, but much love to you, Sister Jill Scott!

Sista you are beautiful inside and out.Thank you for your realness and your music. It definitely feeds my soul and helps me put words to my feelings.

September 17th, 2007 at 12:51 pmYou are a very inspirational person. I don’t see how anyone can hate on you except for the mere fact of jealousy. You are a very beautiful woman with a voice from God. Glad to know that you were blessed to share it with the world.
I’ve followed you since your first album and will continue too.
Keep on keepin on. That’s what Queens do.We live our lives and learn. And we learn to live our lives for the better.

September 17th, 2007 at 5:46 pmYour voice is the prize jewel of this expedition we call music. If one should discover you the way my wife and I had they would be so enriched by way of the beautiful music you offer. When I hear you I am proud to be a fellow Philadelphian (West) and even more proud to have you represent Philly, Love, Expression, and first and foremost yourself…..THATS KEEPING IT REAL. I hope to see you soon here in Philly and hopefully soon in the business since I am young producer on my way in. I hope to cross paths 1 day just to feel some more positive energy. My wife and I love you. Keep up the great work.
PS, This new Album is THE SH!T!!! I cant wait to get it!!!!!

AnnaStesia12972 Says:
September 17th, 2007 at 7:37 pmTHANK YOU FOR SAYING IT!!!! THANK YOU FOR LIVING IT!!! MORE IMPORTANTLY GOD BLESS YOU FOR SURVIVING/CONQUERORING IT. I feel your pain and process with every song on this cd sampler. I definitely can’t wait to buy the album and tell every woman in the world that I can reach to cop this one from the store.
The first time I heard HATE ON ME, I had just gone through something with a man I thought would love me forever. He hurt me because I was a independent woman and refused to give up. Now, I am newly single with 3 kids and needed something to push me through. God put me on the internet that day and told me to seek you and your new project out. Before that, I was thinking about giving up. HATE ON ME, gave me that spirit wake up call that I needed to make me realize that it wasn’t about me and probably never was.
So, if sistas can’t appreciate your voice, you have changed mine. THANK U sista from the bottom of my heart. I am going to wear a new needle wrecking hole in the cd before I can it home. Just listening to the sample made me think that we were going through the same/similar thing at the same time. My mind tells me that I ain’t the first but it feels like I am the last and alone. My spirit told me to DO SOMETHING! I am working on building a network to giving other sistas’ like myself a helping hand. They don’t have to be alone. And their children won’t either. I pray that I have the strength and the courage to say it out loud in front of people. Right now all I can hear are the ideas in my head and I am typing them on the computer so I can help them in a way that you helped me and didn’t even know u were.I love your spirit and wish that your life be blessed 10 times over. If ever you are in Chicago and need some support you have my email address.
Sincerely,
AnnaStesia12972 -
JOHN MOORE, Publicist/Public Speaker in LA Says:
September 17th, 2007 at 10:44 pmthis is for Jill Scott,
I look forward to seeing you in Los Angeles, CA @ the HOB in Oct. The last time I saw you we were in Anaheim, CA. few years ago performing and the audience didn’t want to give you “NO LOVE” you had to ask “Are you out there” sad… but you and I had a good time. I sat on the front row you and shook my hand as you ended the concert because I wasn’t afraid to love and enjoy your talent. I fell in love with you, your music and your word since day one of you first album. I will away support you. Remember we have to always thank “GOD” for the struggle (i.e. Family- Friends- Lovers- Loneliness- Finance- Fame- Hills /Valleys- Highs/Lows- Hollywood’s Mess-Record Co. Mess-Our bodies whatever it is) its there to teach us in our future and to prepare us for what’s to come. I call it being in the mist of a study. Because, during this time you learn so much about you and thing around you become so clear and real. It prepares you for the life assessment and you pass it and then you move to the next level without repeating of that life’s lesson. It’s all to make us better and stronger people. It’s also called “Living life before life is lived”. I’m so proud of you Mrs. Lady J.P.S.
Forgive any spelling or grammar error I’m a Speaker not a writer…but hope you get “God’s” word. -

Rev. Dawn Says:
September 18th, 2007 at 6:36 amJill,
Don’t you sit up reading anymore negative mess. It is wasted time and energy. The Bible says to think on things that are true, sweet, pleasant, and kind. Forget about folks with that evil jealous spirit. I am proud of you and praying for you. I enjoy your music and your style. In another time and place I think we would be sisters, cause girl I know what you going through. But always remember if God is for you, who in the world can be against you. Keep looking up girl. My prayers are with you! -
joy rivers Says:
September 18th, 2007 at 7:20 amjill, you are so real. I lpve, respect and honestly adore you. Its your spirit, you persona, your humanity. Since the day you came out i have been a loyal fan. I have bought every single album that you have made and almost evey one that you have been on (Ive had to buy your 1st album twice, someone else loves you too!) In essence, just keep doing what you do. You are an inspiration to everyone. Anyone who is human, anyone who dreams, and anyone who, like myself, who loves music and has been given a God-given gift to express art through song. You are truly inspiring. The truth is there will always be haters. Even when you havent necessarily done anything wrong. Moreso, when youve been so successful and try to be as right as you “humanely” can! But because your name is so well known, with the price of success comes lovers and lots of haters. Nonetheless, its the way it is. But knowing who are and being able to navigate through the good as well as the bad is what will keep you mind at ease and allow you to simply experience, learn and “keep it movin.” Thank you for your music and for sharing your experiences with us. Im so ready for the album… You always make me proud!

Antoinette Says:
September 18th, 2007 at 7:33 amI love Jill’s music. I am looking forward to this new cd. I have been looking forward to it for a while. I know i’m going to shedd some tears thinking about some past things that may have happened in my life. I love her poetry as well. I’m looking forward to bringing out my own poetry to share with the world!

I am just a white girl from Philly but the kind of passion you feel, I feel; the pain, the strength and the love you convey, I feel it too. Thank you for your words, your voice, your passion and your courage to be who you are. Please continue to create the beauty you create, the world needs more of it. Please never give up on who you are, your soul speaks to so many. Thank you again, you have added such love to my life. Best of luck with the new album….from what I have heard so far, it is amazing! You make Philly girls proud! Much love, Melissa

First of all: Bless you! I love you as a person, as an artist, as a human. I discovered you back in 2001 with your first album and it is so meaninfull for me. The boy i was in love with gave it to me as a present Christmas Eve. I will always remember playing your songs…so beautiful…so powerfull…so much emotions! I am not anymore with this person, as you said in your interview: life is real! and it goes on! so, no matter how, i am still so HAPPY that thanks to him i got to met your music ( even your poetry beacuse i do have your book too! ) .
I know you are doing this because you are so passionate! can’t wait for your new almbum! and please, if you read this, know that you have in Spain a HUGE fan of you! Hope i can make it someday to see you life!

Julia Says:
September 19th, 2007 at 1:37 pmYour music is inspirational. It’s like you are speaking to me. Most artist in this day and age are too remixed and you can’t hear any soul and they have no depth to their music. You are the exception. Continue moving people the way and you do.

Something I should not be doing, but I Love Jill Scott’s music soooo much I had 2 take 20 minutes out to hear words from the beautiful songstress/ lyricist/ vocalist… what have you. Ive always loved Jill Scott’s music and after viewing the interview, I am no longer in love with J. Scott’s music, but in love with her personality intertwined with her song. September 25 could not get here soon enough… Keep doing ur thing Jill, and that concert at Radio City was the shi…

Stay Blessed

Nicole Cannon Says:
September 20th, 2007 at 4:23 pmI appreciate the sharing of your inner person because that has always been what music is to me. Passionate artists like yourself will go far because of your ability to reflect, not only on the outside forces but the inner forces. Being a counselor, I wish more people reflected on themselves. “Keep that place, it IS a good spot to be in.”

QUEENY (From FRANCE) Says:
September 22nd, 2007 at 6:14 pmFRANCE IN THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!
Jill, OH LORD!!! I’m a sista from France and I’ve been one of your BIGGEST FANS ever since I heard the first notes of “Getting In The Way”.
Listen, you’re going through something quite painful but you will prevail, and as wise and profound as you are you already know this but I still need to let you know : everything happens for a reason and if it didn’t kill you it can only make you stronger!!!
As for the haters, look at all the love that you’re getting here ALONE. THE FANS LOVE FOR YOU WILL FOREVER OUTSHINE THE HATE OF THE HATERS. They hate you because you remind them of how pathetic they are, because you get ahead, you’re VIBRANT and RADIANT, you’re making something of your life, healing people’s souls while they’re not doing ANYTHING to better themselves. As long as GOD LOVES YOU, everybody else can hate you it’s still alright, HIS LOVE IS WHAT MATTERS MOST in this life!!!!!
And I’ll get the album soon as it hits the shelves on September 25th, SEE YOU IN NOVEMBER IN FRANCE JILL, I’LL BE IN THE CROWD SINGING ALONG WITH YOU AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS!!!!
You’re one of the BEST ARTISTS ever. Stay as authentic as you are. The only one who can stop you is God and yourself!!! Haters can’t do jack about this :-p

September 23rd, 2007 at 8:46 pmBeautiful simply beautiful. Jill Scott is captivating in her speech, her smile, and her persona, And, that is why people who don’t know her can afford time to write negative comments about her on the internet. Why? Because they have yet to discover their God given qualities..
I can honestly say that I love her, even though I only know her through her music. I love her as God see us, as spirtual beings, I love her spirit. it’s beautiful!!!

I sing, write, and produce songs, but one of my biggest dreams is to do a song with you. YOU are my favorite female singer. I admire you so much. Personally, I think you are the best woman to ever touch a microphone. I love you and your music. Hope the best for you. —- Antwone Perkins —-

O. Oneal Mabry Says:
September 24th, 2007 at 3:26 pmDiscovered you a few months ago. Completely given up on the music. Lyrics was in the trash can. Simply stopped listening… Rap dominated everything… Yes knocking rap out of the park. Simply SHUT UP UNLESS YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY. Then while watching a close to the heart movie. Real tear jerker!. When it went off. The end song was “Golden” I hear the words and said okay! Lyrics sound great… and they say something to me… This is how I live my life… My wife said thats Jill Scott… Okay never heard of her how is she? When my wife finished I downloaded everything you made and I see you have something to say… I’m Listening…. Also pay no attention to those who are hating… I love what you have to say…. Keeping me to be a better man!…

Ash C. Says:
September 24th, 2007 at 4:57 pmAll man, not much to say. This interview merely reminds me why I love Jill Scott so much. Simply because whether it’s on the street in the market, or wherever, it is always so refreshing to recognize real when you hear it.
The reason a young girl like myself has been on her albums since day one; I love the real, always have. Of course I will be buying this album and GOD willing the many to come.
Please keep up the great and very blessed work.
Love Ash.

In my heart, no matter what the sales say & no matter what the industry’s opinion may differ with, In my heart of music u r always number 1. I believe in u & your intelligent talents. It takes u far & gets u thru things u paid no attention to until the hard part was over, that’s always guaranteed … This volume 3’s title hit the nail on the head… (ha ha) luv ya a bunch Ms. J, YOU KNOW U R BAD go ahead and pat yourself on the back.. much support to u and all that u do… I can not wait to meet u.

Kharia Says:
September 25th, 2007 at 3:04 amI wish I could say that I knew Jill before Vol. 1 but I can’t but what I can say is that from the first time I heard her voice I knew that I had found someone who was real and honest and would never disappoint. I actually got to see her in concert in Houston, Tx. and from that experience I was so moved to write a poem about the experience of what I saw, felt, heard, and lived. As most have said she is truly touched by God to deliver such wonderful insight into life and it’s wonderful to grow as a woman as she grows as a woman and taps into things that at times I can’t seem to verbalize. It’s nice to know that someone else has/had the “Celebacy Blues”. It’s nice to know that someone else feels “how can I trust you when you just don’t come through like you said you would.” Thank you Jill for sharing your gift and I hope and pray that I will get the opportunity to see you again while I’m here in ATL!

September 25th, 2007 at 7:45 amI have listened to Jill Scott for years but never purchased an album. That has ended today. When I get off work I am going to buy this album. Maybe even 2 and give it away. I was loving “Hate on Me” but when I heard the sampler I fell in love with her even more. “Feel how you feel that is what art is” The most powerful statement in the world. You go girl !!!! Hurry and get to Chicago so I can see you in concert.

September 25th, 2007 at 6:55 pmI brought the real thing cd today and I just finished listening to it. I am extremely dissappointed in it. I think Jill Scott peaked with her debut album. The live one was just o.k. The 3rd on was just disappointing. This lastet one is just awful. I must say I did like the live version of the fact is ( I need you ). I hope whatever is causing this stops. Please make something worth listening to. I really think Jill is and extremely talented woman.

September 26th, 2007 at 8:43 pmJill,
I watched your interview and everything you say I am interested in hearing more. How anyone can “HATE” on you is surprising. I always loved poetry and expressing my self. But when I heard your first album I was inspired even more. To me you are one of the most real, honest, human, down to earth artist I’ve seen in a long time. I don’t normally leave comments on artist sites However, after watching your interview and listning to you I could tell you are hurting and confused on alot. But I know you have your head on straight. There is a man out there for you “A good man” that God has made especially for you. He will find you but patience is a virtue. Do you be you. God Bless You. -

September 27th, 2007 at 6:09 amI purchased the album on Tuesday, and have taken it everywhere with me. It’s like she knows when you need her. I needed her this week and she has delivered. The things she sings about are exactly what I’ve been through or have gone through! I am a lifetime fan!!

Nakia Says:
September 27th, 2007 at 8:02 amI have listened to all of the posted interviews and have commented on them all…I can not stress enough how Jill is just a sweet spirit that was put on this earth to serve many purposes. People like Jill are hard to come by. Anyone who has anything negative to say about Jill must have some mighty strong issues within themselves. Those are the type of people that have no life and get gratification out of downing others. They must know as Jill stated their comments and sly remarks will never keep her down. When someone has a purpose to serve there is absolutely nothing that can be said or done to destroy their purpose..Keep your head up!

Ms. Crystal W. Says:
September 27th, 2007 at 11:57 amAs I stated on another comment blog, there are only (2) women that exemplify ‘Women of Excellence’, First Lady Serita Jakes, and Jill Scott. Jill’s soul comes out through every song she speaks, she doesn’t just sing, she tells your story and mine and adds her’s in just for flavor. Jill is the truth for real.
And by the way, ‘Crown Royal’ is not for the faint of heart. Only for the grown and satisfied, even if you’re single (like me) you can use your imagination with this one.

October 29th is my birthday, and yes, I live in Atlanta, so you must make it to this city on that date! Also, I am going to try to make arrangements with your people to present you with a framed copy of a poem written about you in my newly published book “Take My Hand And Follow Me.” If you go to my website http://www.gwendyhousepublishing.com, you will see me presenting poems to Tom Joyner and Michael Baisden. Here’s a copy of the poem:JILL SCOTT
SAY IT GIRL, SING IT GIRL!Your powerful words are rockin’ my soul,
taking my intellect into higher ground;
lifting me, inspiring me, relaxing me gently.
You move me like a summer wind, blowing lightly
through a beautiful row of turquoise and purple
fully-blossomed summer flower trees,
taking me to far away places
that only a truly sensitive
and keen mind
can go.Say it girl, sing it girl!
Go on,
rock my world with your florescent words
of life-changing wisdom.
The wisdom of the old who
have seem great things
and believe that everything is possible
if you simply believe.
Your lyrics teach me about
the essence of true love.
A love that frees me from myself,
liberating me from the opinions of others,
and demonstrating to me how to
let my hair blow freely in
God’s soul-lifting and refreshing winds.Say it girl, sing it girl!
You draw out my spirit of charity
that wants to hold,
that wants to care deeply for another,
that wants to maintain a belief in mankind.
You take me into a land
where sincere lovers live,
and can see a heart beating
a million times
with the melody of immeasurable
sharing and caring.Say it girl, sing it girl!
Take us up another octave.
Yank us from the chains
that have severely blocked
our troubled minds,
leaving so many of us believing
that love is forever lost.
Continue to remind us of what two hearts
working together as one
can become.Say it girl, sing it girl!
We’re listening intensely to your words
that often delivers us
to a New World
where dreams do come true.
A world where souls meet and run freely
with the lightness of
a sincere breeze.
A land that is perfect when your heart
is truly uncontaminated,
and where your mind is free,
free, free…
from the feeling of deep,
dark blue,
and you are justly…
in a state of being the real you.Say it girl, sing it girl!

September 28th, 2007 at 7:53 pmI love the Jill Scott You Tube interview. I am a real Jill Scott fan from Who is Jill Scott. I understand how she feels about family and people in general it’s hard moving up and people staying put. I am not famous or anything like Jill but even when you have achieve a certain level of comfort or a little money people alway got their hand out. But you help people and you ask the creator to help them and God will alway take care of you. Jill I wish you all the happy peaceful loving feeling that your hand can hold. And I have been to most of your concerts in Philly and I can’t wait for the next one. You are a real artist and I respect you. Take care a fan for Life

September 28th, 2007 at 8:55 pmI can’t begin to tell you what a beautiful spirit this woman has. It is evident….I mean I got the album on iTunes and I haven’t been able to listen to anything else. I mean each time I listen to a song, I get something different.
Yes this is a different Jill but……you can feel the transformation. Anyone who has listened to this album didn’t have a choice but to feel…….
I think this is my favorite album of hers…..

Michelle King Says:
September 28th, 2007 at 9:32 pmI am so deeply moved by Jill’s honesty. Every word to every song and every hook, line and chorus can be felt. I have never experienced an artist that could draw me into every moment the way she does. Even in her speech, she is moving. Jill has inspired me to feel. She has provoked me to live and face the fullness of life no matter what station Im at in life. All the hurt and love, the pain and mania. I am in awe and deep appreciation for this womans genuine love for poetry and music.

Jeanne Hansteen Says:
September 29th, 2007 at 4:21 amThis album/CD is “The Real Thing”! I have not stopped playing this CD since I purchased it on September 25th, I don’t see myself ever getting tired of it. I was fortunate enough to attend the album release party that was held at Silk City in Philadelphia, and Ms. Jill was so gracious, and kind to her fans, smiling and taking pictures with strangers, groupies, etc. There was absolutely no, I’m Ms. Jill Scott back up, look at me attitude, which was quite refreshing, and suprising, and just real! I appreciate that as a fan, and as a human being. I was in Europe last fall, going through my own personal drama, and I attended this improv show in Amsterdam and I was sitting at a table with a couple from Paris, and Italy, and they asked me where I was from and I said USA/Philadlephia, and they were so excited, and then they asked me if I knew Jill Scott, and I said no, but she is a Native Philadelphian, and they were soooo excited, and they started singing some of her songs, and praising her, and expressing Europes love of her, and her music. The mans comment was that Jill is a modern day Nina Simone. I was so impressed with that, and impressed that this sista had made such an impact on the Europeans. Jill, keep doing what your doing, and the hell with the haters! Always be true to ones self, always! All the best for much success with this CD, and your other projects. Oh, I read the number one ladies detective agency about a year and a half ago, and loved it, and am so glad that you are playing that part, can’t wait to see it on the big screen. Take care of yourself, and rest when you need to!
Regards, and Blessings,

Barbara Says:
September 29th, 2007 at 6:14 pmThe thing about Jill Scott can not be condensed in one word or even sentence. When the brothers and sisters were humanly afraid of truth, love, guilty pleasures, passion, humor, simplicity of life and just being “AIGHT WITH BEING ME”, Jill Scott came along with “Who is Jill Scott?” and just brought back sweet living, loving and good nature in people. She let “me” know that it was ok. Living vicariously through that first cd just put me in another place where I felt like I was ready to love again. Look, I wanted to be exactly where Jill Scott was when she created those songs. I wanted to feel what she felt. Her second album also showed us that because of love and honesty, she has a concious and a heart but she will not wilt at any pressure. I appreciated it because I grew right with her on that album. But the 3rd album, “wheww!”, I really felt her because just as any human being (black woman at that), I hurt and I have frustrations and I have revelations and it sometimes take me days, weeks or months to work through them. But when I do work them out, I feel at peace with myself because I allowed “time” to takes its place and do its best healing. Jill Scott helped contribute that to my soul. At a time, when music, artistry and creativity is at a danger, Jill Scott is like warm, bright star above. You’re not going anywhere because you are so needed. Thank you.

September 30th, 2007 at 9:27 amJill, you go on with yo bad self. I absolutely love you. Your style, creativity, boldness, humility, selfexpression, the whole package. Being an Ariean myself, I understand somewhat the cycle of life that you appear to be fusing thru. First of all, LET THEM HATE!!!!! As a matter of fact, GET SOME MORE HATERS11111 It must mean you are doing something right, because if not there would be nothing to lust or envy about you. Hey, they talked about JESUS, let them talk, cause that is all it is, TALK. Keep up the good work and continue to express yourself. I hope one day I will experience the pleasure of meeting you in person, that would be fab. In the meantine, I will continue to support your music ministry(how you like that-smile). Do well. Anyone who loves their mama & granny as much as I do deserves it. My mom is 72, and my granny is 96 and they are the love of my life. Have it girl, it is yours. Oh, and by the way don’t worry you’ll find exactly what you need in him(the next mister), when the time is right, or should I say Miss-oops sorry that’s my thing(smile).

October 3rd, 2007 at 1:51 pmDear Jill,
A friend of mine gave me your first cd before I even knew who you were and I have been hooked ever since. You are fierce!! Your music is a true gift from God! Don’t ever let anyone convince you otherwise. Your lyrics are always right on point and all I can do when I listen to them is shake my head YES! I literally painted my whole house while listening to all of your cds.Not to mention that you are absolutely beautiful. You would make a fierce model too!
I truely admire your honesty, passion, and confidence. It spills out of your music and you are oh so classy when you discuss your personal stuff in interviews!!! I like that.
Your new album “The Real Thing” has taken me places that I can’t even explain. I absolutely love the whole album, but my favorite song for right now is “Insomnia.” All I can say is “Been there, done that!”
Sorry, I missed you at Radio City, but I will catch you in DC.
When you do find the right one, he better recognize!!!
Your fan forever!! God Bless You.

October 5th, 2007 at 2:14 pmHey Jill I’m not sure if you even read this, but I just want to let you know how much of an inspiration you are. Not only to me but also my mother. I live in Atlanta and she resides in Cincinnati. When ever I go up to visit her we have to have your music playing in the car. We know all the words to all your songs. I just think that you speak from your heart and I totally respect you for that. As a 26 year old woman I find if hard sometimes to even watch a video on TV. I just get so tired of seeing people and not real artists. You are so appreciated, but I’m sure you don’t need to hear it from me.
May God keep working through you.
Love you Sistah!

October 6th, 2007 at 9:18 amI love your new CD, and for every one person that hate on you, there are 10 more that love you. I can vibe off the entire CD, but my favorites are #s (4) which is so hoooot my other favorites are equal with the above number for the same reasons 5, 7, 11, 12, 13
I live to experience Passion and desire in everything I do in life, and like you if there is no passion then there is no activity. Human beings are made from God (Infinite thought, Prime Creator, Source energy) or whatever name we may use. The creator’s love desire, passion to create in the image likeness is our design as humans. Love, desire, and passion are active ingredients when we prepare, create, and fix, anything in life. When those active ingredients are missing the end result is lifeless with no pulsating beauty to inspire us from what was manifested. I’m writing too much LOL….

. I’ve been taking this time to get to know myself and take care of me, and I thank you for your music to help me through more than anything else right now. The real thing came out in perfect timing for me.
So thank you for being you, for being real and unapologetic and HONEST. Your interview about the real thing brought me to tears. Now, enough of my rambling

I am spending my Friday evening sharing the love. Your albums is awesome. I had to pull India out of rotation for a minute. Your album is, Its so versatile. You got a little of everything. Your hip hop is sweet.Your voice is so comforting and sexy. Everyone is getting a Jill Scott CD for Thanksgiving! I wish you India and Lauryn would collaborate together so I could just past the hell out. I know I dont know you personally however, I know you are no angel HOWEVER, you are Heaven sent.

You are the TRUTH! I am so glad that you are not worried about what haters say because that could really taint your passion. There are so many “entertainers” out there but only a hand full of artist’s. You, are an artist. I too am an artist so i know what you mean when you say you need to feel it. I can appreciate any type of music when i can feel your passion. That only happens if you’re real, and you are REAL. Soooooo excited about the new album!!! Keep doin’ what you do… -
Kisha...from DC Says:
October 13th, 2007 at 3:36 pmLet it be known…Jill, you are such an inspiration and guiding light to me. Ever since I first heard your lyrics a few years back while in high school, I knew that I would be a fan of your music and poetry for the long haul. I only prayed that you would keep it coming! Your music was healing, love, happiness and self-acceptance all wrapped in one. Fast forward to the closing of 2007-you’ve yet to cease to amaze and I’m sure that you never will. Even when I met you at my coffee-shop job at Philly Int’l (I think in 2004), you proved that you indeed was that sweet spirited person that I always figured you were. I’ll always remeber the comment you made when you said that you admired my hair (short locks) and the authentcity that such words held. YOU, alone, are AUTHENTIC…The real thing!!!

After watching you perform the Hate On Me song and listening/watching you (& the cast of Tyler Perry’s Why did I get Married) on TV-One, I really “get” it. It probably doesn’t matter to you whether I “got” it or not but, I thought I would share with you that I understand you better and I respect who you are. I bought your new CD, The Real Thing, and I think that title is so appropriate. All of your music is so deep. For me, I have to listen to the words and put myself in the situations and then I can “feel” what you mean. WOW, your words are so powerful and have so much meaning within them!! That’s all I can say! It all makes so much sense!
Jill, you are a gorgeous and sexy woman and I admire you. I love listening to your angelic voice whenever you speak. Keep your head up girl no matter what you’re going through. GOD HAS A PLAN FOR ALL OF US AND HE WILL NEVER PUT MORE ON YOU THAN YOU CAN BEAR. Keep succeeding in life and stay positive.

October 19th, 2007 at 8:54 amI am so proud of Ms Scott. The individulism, you are “Beautifully Human”. To be able to express yourself in your music is a blessing. We all have struggles. To bring them outward and not let them drown us inwardly is truly a battle won within ourselves. Keep praying and being one with and within and you will surely reap more peace and reward. Much love to all the strong women who read this. Until we ever meet “Be Blessed.”

I was always raised to be who I be and I’m so glad that you chose to pen and publish this song. I also saw the movie and I thought you were great. I have seen that thing twice and going to see it again. Keep up the great work and may GOD continue to bless you…but you must keep HIM first.

Krysteenah German Says:
October 22nd, 2007 at 11:03 amYou are so beautiful from your face to you soul! You are so positive, proud and sure of who you are! I love that about you. You know what you want to do and you do it! That’s how everyone should live and you’ve inspired me to live that way. I really connected to you when you were talking about feelings and how we need to just feel how we’re really feeling! I can relate because I am a dancer at University of the Arts, a Philly navtive like youself. Our teacher might choreograph a certian emotion on us and we have to protray that emotion. We can’t be fake about it we have to tap into those emotions and go there. I love you not just as an artist but as a person. I’m only 19 and my friends make fun of me because i like you and they say your old and I defend you with all my mite. Because to me you have no age you’re just Jill Scott. And I love Jill Scott. I was actually fortunate to work with one of you background singers Carol Riddick. She ia awesome as well. She opened up for Earth Wind And Fire and I was Blessed to be one of her two background dancers and i was just a great experience. I love you live. I have your live album and it would just be a honor and i miricale for me if i could see you live in concert. But i do remember you performed in philly on the fourth of July and i sang every word to all of your song. Who knows how old i was then if im 19 now. lol but i enjoyed every moment! i love you. You are blessed and just keep being Jill Scott. And just kno that you have inspired me to be Krysteenah German.

Self discovery is an amazing and wonderful thing. You have showed me that it’s ok to be who I am and really love what I do no matter what others think. Your journey and how you over came very difficult times is amazing. I know it was not easy but you did it and you continue to do it every day. Thank you so so much for sharing with us. I wish you all the best.

Yolanda S. Says:
October 27th, 2007 at 3:00 pmThank God for Jill Scott. There is so much bad music out here and Jill’s music is like a breath of fresh air. It reminds me of my momma’s fried chicken. The aroma is hypnotic and the taste is beyond satisfying; it’s incredibly brilliant. Keep using your God given talents. As a 30 something black woman you make me proud and believe it or not I get mistaken for you sometimes. People take a double look and I say No, Jill Scott isn’t in DE. God bless you and heaven smile on you my sista.

I love your music, I have since your first CD. The Collaborations CD is HOT!! I just really enjoy where your music takes me, so much like a good book that you hate to see end. I’m coming into my own now at the age of 28 and really seeing things honestly, and feeling things honestly, and not being ashamed of how I see and what I feel. Your music is simply the soundtrack to my life experience. And I appreciate you for it!!
Oh, and you brought down the house as Sheila in “Why did I get married?” You are fierce, and I’m sho nuff sure you know it!!
Thank you so very much,

kristen Says:
October 30th, 2007 at 1:59 pmI have truely had the Jill Scott Experience watching The Reel. For me, at times Jill’s music was a bit too personal sexually and I found it hard to listen to her albums all the way through more than once. I am one of those people who likes a CD to be uninterupted when I play it. But now I understand. When writing how you feel when you feel it you’re not always comfortable coming back to that place but its real and I can appreciate that. Thank you so much for what you bring to the table. Music needs you. I’m 24 years old and I can now say to my son “They don’t make music like that anymore!” like my mama told me. God Bless!

Ryan Johnson Says:
October 31st, 2007 at 1:12 pmOh, My God!!!! I have never been a fanatic, I think its because I have always been an artist but in the last couple of days I have been moved by Jill Scott. A friend of mine invited me to Jill Scott’s performance at the Freight Room in Atlanta and I had never seen her perform but I was moved to tears from her passion. And my search for Jill has increased thus leading me to this page and these video clips. I admire you, Jill if your reading, and I understand the demands that life puts on performers. People always compare me to you when I perform and that is such a divine grace. You embody such power and grace and strength in your humaness and I wish you all of the best in life, in love, and in God. So no, I am not fanatic and awestuck but I am welcome to your energy and open to your gifts and honored to listen to the sweet, real, and inspiring music that you birth. Hopefully one day, I will be able to sing next to you but until that day, I will strive to express the Goddess in me and use my voice to change the world, as you have done with yours. Keep doing what your doing, it is surely changing lives.
Peace and Blessings,
Ryan Johnson

November 2nd, 2007 at 12:07 amGood evening Jill,
I send you greetings from Hawaiian Gardens, Ca. You are truely blessed and because that is of God … can’t NO BODY TAKE THAT AWAY FROM YOU. I can relate to what you sing about in everyway.
I grew up in Compton, Ca and now I am the mother of three beautiful Black girls and well … often times I wonder what happened to Love, Loyality, Family and Truth. Then here you come … you sing from your soul.
I love music, real music that’s saying something … music that comes from the soul.
Keep it up Girl. You BAD … and that’s all I have to say.
They say, “One can’t really sing unless they’ve been through something”.Luv Ya,
Tai’ -
Rita Says:
November 2nd, 2007 at 8:27 amI love your spirit Jill; you say things that people think but may not know how to express it, and you express it through your art – music, poetry, acting… I love your work so much and respect you so much. When I listen to your music, I’m reminded to tap into my deepest emotions and not be afraid to just keep it real; you’re such an inspiration. Also, loved you in ‘Why Did I Get Married’! I laughed and cried, great job. Hope to see you live in concert soon!

Phoebe-Louise Okoli (London,UK) Says:
November 3rd, 2007 at 4:06 pmI love how real and raw her feelings are. Its refreshing to have some genuine quality artists in the music industry that are not just puppets to the CEO’s. She makes me feel proud to be a woman with more curves. I love her rich soulful vocals and the fact that she has her own sound and does not conform to the current rnb trends.
She seems like a lovely down to earth person and I definatly will buy her album. I cant wait for her to come to the uk. -

Ms Jill Scott is very authentic and that’s why I love her music. I also enjoyed listening not too long ago on the Steve Harvey morning show. I appreciate the reality. For those that don’t like you that’s why the all might created the ability of other selections. I just want to say you are an amazing woman. I really enjoy your artistic talent.

When I listened to Hate On Me, I fell in love with that song; when you made that song girlfriend you said something. Thank You! Also, you give plus size women like me something good to see on the screen, I love your style from head to toe now all I need is your confidence, your stylist and wardrobe man LOL! When I see you and hear your voice I just smile. Thanks Jill for being Jill. And Haters HATE ON don’t get mad ’cause Jill the Sh**!

Annette Scott Says:
November 16th, 2007 at 9:36 pmI like the way you do you…
I was asked the other day, “Has anyone ever told you that you look like Jill Scott?”
I said, “Maybe once or twice…” But I had never taken the time to know who you were behind the music.
I’m this way –
I like good music, but I can appreciate your music more when I can relate to you as a person. I could do worse than be compared to — or to remind people of Jill Scott.
I like your philosphy, and I like your music.
Stay real…

Emma Says:
November 22nd, 2007 at 8:21 amSaw Jill perform last night and, as ever, knocked out by the integrity and passion invested in every beautiful song. Just watched those film clips – I think Jill has the ability to make everyone feel a powerful affinity with her because she verbalises something that is ‘REAL’, that we all feel deeply but that most of us don’t have the eloquence to verbalise, or melodise (Is that a word?) Thank you Jill. I feel like a 12 year old when I see you cos I leave thinking, ‘I wish she was my best friend!’ xx

You are light, you are sun, you are an example of God’s goodness. Your gift as an artist transforms me. I have tracked your path for sometime now and your album title says it all you are indeed the “Real Thing!” I can’t wait for your return to the states so that I can see you live. Consider Birmingham, AL as one of your stops.

Andonnia "Phoenix Sole" Maiben Says:
December 11th, 2007 at 7:14 pmI dont know how to expose how connected I felt to these clips. It’s as if my favorite artist was sitting in the room having a conversation with me. I had so many poems rolling through my head from simplicity to Really, This is how you feel *inspired by the blog haters*…I am releasing my first poetry book in the spring and I am more than happy to say that many a poem in my 24 years and a few songs have been inspired BY JILL SCOTT. She is Beautifully Human, no pun intended. She is reality. She is a black woman who is thick, like me, relabeling beauty and talent. She is a God send to a reality where lines were drawn in concrete and she steped over them in large strides. I will follow her story where ever she is…even if I can’t make it to the Concert in Houston in Feb. I will watch what I can online, read her myspace, and ALWAYS buy her music.
Thank you for inspiring…people like me. I pray to God one day we meet.
Humbly,

Jeff Says:
December 27th, 2007 at 11:05 pmI own all JS albums. Love the music. I was stunned to see Jill Scott on a Bailey’s ad, plastered all over a low income predominantly black neighborhood in Oakland California. I do not see this same billboard all over upper class San Francisco. I am heartbroken that it seems that this is more of an engdorsement for Baileys as opposed to a corporate sponsor for a tour. Please take a look at where your face is. It is not looking like you are taking care of your community, rather exploiting it.

I will be there. You have been my inspiration. I write everything I feel on paper as well. It helps me to form my feelings and pick apart the negative. You are great and loved. Whomever has anything negative to say about you…needs to get a life!

Beautifull Says:
December 30th, 2007 at 11:57 pmMs. Scott…I have your 1st two albums and loved them to death. Play them to death to the point you can see the scratches on the disks. LOL. I was actually downloading your last two albums to my new Ipod I received for christmas from my husband almost on the verge to be my ex. Also, I was on myspace today and decided to check out your new album. And since I have a gift card with my Ipod Im going to download your whole album. I love you in “Why did I Get Married”. I just love you period. I love your style because I felt your realism from your first two albums. Yeah and sorry to here about your marriage. Man you sounded so happy from your lyrics from your past songs. But we all learn form what God/Jesus Christ take us through. I know I did. Futhermore, I just watch your video about your new album and I said, “Why peps hating on Ms. Scott?” Nah….. THEY JUST ENVY YOU THATS All!!!! Just keep staying real Ms. Scott and hope to see you in New York soon. Much Luv Meka

I’d just like to say that I am really enjoying your new album, and I’m definitely feeling it. I’d have to agree with a comment that a friend made about it saying, “Jill definitely got her grown woman on, on this album.” I am definitely looking forward to seeing you in concert on March 25th. Thanks, for all of your hard work, even gives us fans even more of you to enjoy.

Mary Says:
January 29th, 2008 at 8:16 amThis album is very moving and inspirational…it is such a blessing for someone to be so creative and talented that we (the audience) feel as if the artist is speaking directly to us we we listen to their music. This album is the truth and I love every song on the CD; especially, “Whenever Your Around”, because at the time I was feeling like she was singing about my life! It’s like you say to yourself, I am not the only one going through something like this and it feels good to know that.

Ishia Brooks Says:
January 29th, 2008 at 10:14 amJill, Jill ,Jill….. If you were a man, I would say “You the Man!” Fortunately, you are a woman. I watched the interview because I hoped it would answer some questions I had about this album. Where you are very eloquent and articulate, you are very good at answering but maybe not completely. That’s not a complaint, please don’t take it that way. I was instantly pissed when you said you had all that “hate” mail. Whatever inspired your music, I appreciate it. It’s unfortunate we have to feel pain but if it weren’t for the pain how could we appreciate the pleasure? Even in your pain, I felt and saw beauty. I agree that everyone needs to be loved by atleast someone. If you never have another, you have it in me. Keep doing your thang! My 7 year old son blasts Hate on Me every chance he gets. My 13, soon to be 14 year old daughter enjoys your Wanna Be Loved because she is going through some things with her biological dad. You have something for everyone in my home. I could go on and on about every track. When I saw you in Tyler Perry’s movie, I waited for you to break out in a song. Your voice reminds me of satin. Like a mother’s kiss. It provides comfort even when you hurt. To be honest I didn’t know you were divorced until my girlfriend and I discussed what we thought was on your mind with each song. I just want to say you are a beautiful human inside and out. Atleast from what I have seen. This latest project has made me re-evaluate some things about my marriage of 8 years. Made me more appreciative. Thank you and keep on keepin’ on! I wish you the best and all the love, peace, and contentment you deserve.
God Bless,

Fred Caldwell and RFCA Says:
February 2nd, 2008 at 9:11 pmTruly you are a voice for this millennium. The power of your lyrics cradled in the arms of your music, have reached places that you can never imagine. It’s like the autonomy of art, when the paint brush makes the last stroke and the presentation is made, it no longer belongs to you. It now belongs to the beholder to allow it to minister to their lives. You have set such a standard of excellence with your music that has allowed millions like me and my family to enjoy for years and years to come. Personally, I would love to see you make some more political statements with your music. No doubt, you can and have impacted millions of individuals to live free and enjoy life to the fullest. How much more powerful to impact a nation, a cause, or a movement?
Truly you are a voice for this millennium. To whom much is given, much is required.
Much Support

Tyra Says:
February 4th, 2008 at 3:39 pmYou are the TRUTH! I have admired you since Who is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol 1. I would like to think that I am a true lover of music so it takes a powerful singer to move me to feel what they are trying to convey. You share that gift with very few artist. You are a great example of how to articulate your point of view, whatever it may be, in a positive way. I appreciate you and your gift. Continue to inspire and innovate…it is definitely one of your purposes in life. Thank you for the music and the TRUTH!

Valecia Says:
February 16th, 2008 at 10:02 pmI am appauled at what Jill is saying, I can’t believe that people, like me, who don’t know her personally, would have so much negativity against such a wonderful, intelligent and beautiful person.
Jill is not only a very beautiful person on the outside but inside. I wait for the day, I can be in her shoes, where I am soo comfortable in my own skin, so in love with myself, that what people say about and against me is irrelevant.
I love you Jill soo much, you are such an inspiratioinal person, and I wish I had you as a friend, to help keep me grounded and focused on what is important – Life and living.
Keep doing you and there’s not much more to pursue, I love you sister!
P.S. Why aren’t you represent a toothpaste company, you have the most beautiful teeth and smile, I have ever seen.
May God continue to BLESS and KEEP you sister!

I love you lady! Don’t change for anyone! God has blessed you with the gift of song and don’t let anyone take that from you…that is for you! When you are doing right people are going to hate … so let them!
When “Hate On Me” came out I was going through with my family hating on me so that song really struck a chord with me. I just prayed and kept it movin, ya know!
Jill, keep do’n you boo that’s why your fans love you so, especially me! Be blessed!

Lenchi Says:
February 24th, 2008 at 10:11 pmI love your music. I know you hear/read this a lot, but please don’t dismiss this as just another kind praise from an adoring fan. I love only a select few artists. You have the total package. You are beautiful, you are sincere, and you put your all into every song you sing. I appreciate your artistry. Thank you for being that strong voice for so many Black women out there who’s voices go unheard. You’re probably way ahead of me on this, but never stop making your music because your music inspires.

Costa Shinya Says:
February 25th, 2008 at 12:57 pmAll the way from Victoria Falls – Zimbabwe, with love, adoration…you are as beautiful as the music you sing with such soul. I hope you know we are dreaming of seeing you performing live in this part of the world too. Keep singing Jill, keep singing. As for those that hate, it’s simply because they don’t have what you do.

deedee Says:
February 25th, 2008 at 2:15 pmMeaning, men. A lot of people don’t think they can be haters against women, but anybody that don’t love theirself, cannot love anyone else. Fat, thin, black, yellow or green. Can u tell i just watch Why did i get married(smile)but i read somewhere that u expericnes that in real life once. Right now my only man in my life is jehovah. I got to learn to love myself, and always put jehovah in everything u do.

None of all this matters without the beauty of the person, the Artiste…Jill Scott. Thank you Jill

Bwebs Says:
April 2nd, 2008 at 11:37 pmJill is a absolutely complete artist. I cannot believe that people actually hate her. After I watch the interview I reall felt her deep, like I felt what she said, and went through. I totally understood where she was coming from on all levels. Spiritual, mental, just all of it.
I have been married for 5 years to a beautiful full figured woman that is very talented and ambitious. I love that in women, and cannot understand why someone would think it was not attractive in her. If I was not married, I think I would not mind a date with Jilly. She is a real woman, a real human being. Beautifully.

Nancy H Says:
May 14th, 2008 at 1:32 pmJill Scott is an icon, a force of nature, a honest sister, a talented sister, a caring sister to whom I have had the pleasure of seeing live many times and will continue to support. Jill Scott is going to be around for a very long time and I know this because she’s beautifully human.

CRYSTAL Says:
May 21st, 2008 at 6:42 pmI am touched and deeply moved by her music and quite simply her words. Jill Scott is and always has been an inspiration to a single black female from Omaha, Ne. The way Jill continues to keep it real and down to earth reminds me each day to see better, feel better and to eventually know better. One day I hope to get the opportunity to see MS. SCOTT in person. I know the odds are stacked against me because of my location but trust and believe I am a true and lifelong fan.

Akenda Says:
May 28th, 2008 at 2:11 pmI must say that since Jill Scott has stepped on the scene, she has single handedly captured the hearts of many ( I for one)!! I truly believe that God himself has wrapped her in his arms and loved on her in such a way that she exudes love, passion, warmth, sincerity and all of those wonderful things. I remember the first time I saw her in “You’re Getting In the Way”, I felt that she was Beautiful. And I’m not just talking beauty that’s appeasing to the eye, but to the spirit. For that reason and so many more, I’d like to say “Thank You Jill”!For inspiring us and blessing us with your gift . And continue to do great and marvelous things.
Peace & Blessings,

June 5th, 2008 at 6:45 pmHi Ms. Scott,
I am a singer/songer writer that is a fan of your music and you. You are so erotic and honest. I would love to write a song for you! Your video, “My Love” is so emotion and touching. I didn’t know that you could act and maybe you should do a movie based on your songs and your life or a fictional movie based on Afro-American romance.

Brian Cox Says:
June 17th, 2008 at 8:21 pmWow! Jill I’m speechless, words can not convey how much you inspire me as an artist, singer, and actor!

Continue to do you as only you can I got mad love for you my Aries sista.

On May 27th I tragically lost my husband after 16 years of marriage in a car accident, I am a widow at 40. During this difficult time I listen to your music and it lifts my spirits. Your spirit comes through your music. One of the first things I did for myself after losing the love of my life was buy tickets to see you on July 3rd at the Toyota Center in Houston. I love you, I love your music and you inspire me. I continue to pray for your success, for love and for God to continue to bring blessings into your life. I just wanted to say thank you for being you. I can’t wait to see you and experience your music in person.Blessings,

You are not voted for enough, you are not nominated enough, you are not seen enouth, you are not enough for the people.You are just too much, too much for them to accept, to grasp, to understand, to feel.
You expose too much of them to themselves. How dare you be the great woman that you are.
You are awesome. Keep slapping those faces with those lyrics, including your own.

I have smiled with you, cried and rejoiced in your success. Cried tears of joy and smiled with you laughing at the haters. Feeling overwhelmed by your smile and chills when ever you open your mouth to speak, sing or laugh. Thanks for being a blessing and, unlike some many of we people (human folk in general), being real. Be ever wonderful.

September 16th, 2008 at 8:56 pmTo the wonderful, talented ms. Jill Scott,
OMG!!!! you are so wonderful. girl laugh at them haters, cuz like kat said if you got twenty you betta figure out how to get to fifty by next year! you are such a beautiful person, and so DAMN talented. I’ve been watching and listening and wanting to be like you since you first appeared on the music scene. i’m only 18 but listening to you albums helps me grow as a young black woman of substance and prosperity. All I can really say is girl keep on doin what ya doin! nobody can do it like you even if they tried. what you have is a quality, a trueness about you that just shines and says HERE I AM, COME AND TAKE ME! When I saw you in Why Did I Get Married, I cried when you cried and laughed when you laughed, gosh you were such an inspiration. seeing you live is like watching one of the greats like Sara Vaughn, and the great Billie Holiday. What i’m trying to say is….I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!

December 12th, 2008 at 9:12 pmJill I just love how you keep it real. I love the way you express yourself. You make me feel as a fellow “thick girl” more comfortable with myself. I love writing poetry. I feel all the joy and pain in your music. I just love the way you express yourself. Don”t worry about what they say because the word says GOD won’t put more on you than you can bear and You can do all things through Christ which strengthen you. Love you Jill and keep on keeping on.
